If you fancy stocking up on beauty essentials while remaining on a budget before Christmas, or are on the hunt for skincare stocking fillers, it's worth heading to John Lewis. The department store has released a luxury wellness box and it's filled with some bestselling products.
The Rest & Recharge Beauty Box features eight full-sized products from brands including Sol de Janeiro, L'Occitane , Liz Earl, and Wella Professionals, among others. The John Lewis edit costs £60 but I've found away to pick it up for less than £45 through TopCashback.
New members of the money-saving site and new John Lewis customers will receive a free £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback to their account, bringing the Rest & Recharge Beauty Box to £44.50 after all the discounts have been applied, all you need to do is make your purchase through this unique link.

With 10 items in the box, each product works out to cost £4.45 apiece, which is much cheaper than if you were to buy them individually. The stand-out product in the box is the Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil, which costs £60 - the same as the box itself.
Infused with essential oils, the therapeutic blend helps to relieve tired and aching limbs and muscles. The rejuvenating oil combines aromatic rosemary, ginger and black pepper to create a warm and uplifting scent that is perfect for autumn and winter.
Another stand out product is Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, worth £18. Boasting a rich, indulgent cream texture, it works to remove daily grime, environmental pollutants and makeup to help lift dead skin cells and pore-clogging impurities.
The other products in the wellness edit aren't to be sniffed at, either. Shoppers are treated to a set of Rodial's Dragon's Blood Jelly Eye Patches, This Works Deep Sleep Body Cocoon moisturiser, and Margaret Dabbs London Miracle Foot Cream, among others.
Elsewhere, the Boots Make More Room For Beauty Beauty Box, worth £290, is available for £55. The edit has it all from trending hair and beauty treats such as Rehab Scalp Oil to the Sheglam Liquid Blush and Sol de Janeiro's 59 Fragrance Mist.
At LookFantastic, The Trending Edit, valued at over £125, has been reduced by 20%, now £32 instead of £40. Featuring standout heroes like Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate Intensive Treatment and the irresistible Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 76 Fragrance Mist, this edit is packed with 6 premium products designed to hydrate, smooth and leave skin radiant.
Back at John Lewis, the The Rest & Recharge Beauty Box boasts an overall star-rating of 4.8 out of five based on almost 20 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "I love this selection, it is great value and any I won't use will make lovely presents."
A second wrote: "A great box with amazing value. A must-buy for all you wanting to try new products or to stock up on your favourites."
"This is a great box of quality branded products and decent sizes as well," a third penned. "A well curated selection of products for some self care/pampering. From shower/bath to full body, literally head to toe.
"Great also if you just wanted to gift some items for birthday/Christmas. The Aromatherapy Associates on it's own is worth more than the box, whilst it's on offer. Very happy customer."
One shopper, however, docked The Rest & Recharge Beauty Box a star because the box was 'far too big' for the contents inside. It reads: ""The recipient was thrilled with the gift. It has so many lovely things inside. A veritable treasure trove of goodies.
"However, the box is far too big for the contents. There is the smallest amount of shredded tissue paper inside so everything just rattles and shakes around. I was very glad nothing had broken. If John Lewis has cut back on tissue paper packaging for the environment, might I also suggest they reduce the size of the box so it isn't half empty."
But another loved their latest John Lewis purchase, adding: "Just given it as a birthday gift. Recipient delighted. Ordering another before they sell out."
